I think after Katrina they put in a Federal law that makes the above RCW illegal anyway.
I'd mainly just like to be able to buy and "use" a suppressor for my AR. Having a Class 3 option is always nice. I'd probably never buy a class 3 weapon but I don't think others should be impacted by my choice.
I continue to be confused by Washington law on the establishment of militia's. It was my understanding that militia's are illegal unless State sanctioned.
I think you are talking about this.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE ACT
(42 U.S.C. 5205)

is not required by Federal, State, or local law;

in any place or by any person where such possession is not otherwise
prohibited by Federal, State, or local law; or
